A lot of planning, Scooter Ward of Cold and I finally sit down before tour rehearsals to do a deep dive on his life and music. Shy and introspective from a young age, he showed and early passion and talent for writing deeply and touching people with his words.
We talk Cold band classic songs like "Bleed", "Ugly" and "Gone Away". Connecting with fans throughout the years and the origin stories of the band, how Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit helped them get signed, how Wes Boreland helped re-name the band. Collabs with friends like Aaron Lewis of Staind, Ben Burnley from Breaking Benjamin and writing new music in 2024.
